Check System Settings >> About Phone.

Make sure you have got "****KB5" Baseband installed, if not try flashing KB5 Modem from the OP and check again.

If it shows "unknown" baseband, you need to start from ODIN.

So my initial report on v4 battery consumption is that it is as bad as v3 or worse. In 5.5 hours of mostly sitting in stand by and it dropped from 100% to 39%. Android OS was at 49%.

I wiped the battery stat via CWM, changed to a fully charged battery and will test again.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrosarioaz:
V4 does have decent battery life, what i expect

if i put it in airplane mode overnight i should loose 2-3% for about 6 hours, check 3%

watch a 10 minute video i drop 2% check

remember that your phone has to account for 100% use, so if android OS is at 45% then the rest of your stats need to equal 55%.

sometimes i see android at 50% and screen at 20%, other times its reversed. Having a high percentage of something like Android OS at 50% doesn't necessarily mean your phone is eating your battery a lot.

Hope this makes sense to everyone as i too was shocked until i researched how the percentage works.

It will be available with next version.

Currently removed. Next version compiling already started.

As for next version, it will be optional for one to download & flash FaceUnlock Feature.

But whoever will flash FaceUnlock.. it will remove Google Earth completely.

NOTE

: Face Unlock is useful only for people having FFC.
[Vibrant Android Development] pault949:
Concerning battery issues, I was just on CM7 and when I had the 'Android System' taking up a lot of battery I would disable GPS and reboot the phone. That solved my issues with 'Android System.'

To use GPS again, I would have to enable it and then reboot the phone. Kind of a pain, but it worked.

Just a thought.
[Vibrant Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
So are you saying that next version is only for people that want the faceunlock option? Or is faceunlock option going to be a seperate download from v5? Just want to clarify.

Thanks to all your hard work!

Hmmm... I don't use my GPS at all [it is always off], I am just hoping it was cause it was the first cycle.
[Vibrant Android Development] FlipnKraut:
First off, this is awesome. Cant wait until everything is ironed out. With that, here's some weird things I noticed:

The screen off animation plays then briefly flashes back on then off. I initially thought it was only happening when I hit the power button with certain apps open. Then I noticed it happen on the home screen. It doesn't happen all the time, but once it happens once, you can turn on and off the screen and it will happen every time.

The autorotation in the camera app is weird. Taking a picture with it in landscape with the controls on the right takes the photo normally. If taken in portrait, the resulting photo is rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. You can open the photo in gallery and correct it, but clicking through the camera app, the photo is still not corrected.

Can't seem to add Facebook in accounts, but that may be because they havent updated their app for ICS.

Swiping around the map, sometimes I get "bounced" back to where I started to swipe from.

So far, pretty solid. No FCs or any other major issues.

Oh one last thing, in GB, the stock clock app was able to display weather. I liked having this when my phone was docked, because I can take a quick look and see the weather. Was that taken out of ICS?

[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
No, it's actually been broken since v11 with and without SIM. The dialer code somehow got reverted so it doesn't put the radio into the correct mode. No one in charge here seems to be taking the situation seriously though so I'm switching to the CM9 kang builds.

911 was broken in v11 as well. The last time it worked was on 10.6.
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
I also want an option to disable lockscreens. I don't know why all those phones still have lockscreens. Locksreens belong to those phones with physical buttons. Most smartphones on market now have no physical buttons at all, and the lockscreens just add an extra UNNECESSARY operation to OS.

I love this ROM so far. But I have some GPS problem. I didn't get any lock at all.

Also the phone app is too lame. The call ID picture is so blur that I can't even recognize who it is. Those pics in favorites are also blur. We need a much better phone app to match this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
Try out different launchers, I use apex, tho alot of other people use nova, trebuchet just lacks too many features.
[Vibrant Android Development] DATRUTH141:
regarding your contacts pictures, there is nothing wrong with the phone app. google unfortunately downloads low res photos to your phone for your contacts that you have pictures saved for. ICS actually is the first android OS that supports high res photos. so it blows up the low res pictures downloaded from the google servers. now if you use facebook, you can easily fix the contact photo issue. download haxsync from the market and use that to sync your contact photos. allow it to sync over all networks not just wifi, if you arent using wifi at the moment. it will download the hires photos for your contacts. problem solved. please dont dis system functions that you are not familiar with. devs, as well as other members have spent alot of time working on bringing the most possible functions to our "outdated" vibrants. thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
What other smartphone other than the galaxy nexus have no physical buttons at all? You can't say most smartphones on the market when there's only one. And lockscreens are required, otherwise everyone would be pocket dialing they're contacts

[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
Considering only power button turns on vibrant and assuming you use a case, I highly doubt you ever pocket-dialed any number even without lockscreens. Trust me, similar as stylus, lockscreen is on the way to go.

You showed totally unnecessary rude towards my comment. As I mentioned I like this ROM. Being said that, I still have some bugs reports and feature requests, which is essential for any project improvements.

As to the "fix" you mentioned, I have to say, it is completely B.S. If one day somebody mentions dialer doesn't work, will you suggest him carrying a nokia 6510 with him?

also, I am constantly getting "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped."

The response you were given about the contact picture quality is correct, Its a well now ICS issue, just google this "low quality contact pictures ics" and see for your self.

The only solution at this time its to use 3rd party apps.

Thank you for the amazing rom! I've been using it since v.10, but, 2 days ago I became to have a little problem..

My carrier doesn't show a signal at all! No phone call possible to be made, or sms. But internet was working! :eek: I've already tried to wipe all and flash the rom again..

It didn't work, so, I tried to stock with ODIN, and there it was, full strength signal..

Everything was working. So, I tried to flash ICS Passion again, and again, no signal.

Is the baseband for this rom different from the stock? What could have happen?

Wow - you are showing unnecessary sensitivity to DATRUTH141's reply. DATRUTH141 merely gave you the reason for the blurry pictures, a possible work around and pointed out that it is the fault of the app and not the dev.

And you call that rude - oh boy!

Install alternate launcher, i use Apex, dont know abot Nova havent used it but under apex settings go to homescreen settings there you can toggle hide notification bar, and under behavior settings you can set it so that swiping down on the screen will pull down the notifications n swiping up will hide the status bar.

play around with it til you get it to work the way you want :)

Ok either I'm blind or no one else is having a similar issue but I flashed from v11 to v12 and didn't let it settle after....I know big mistake.. Just when I was getting everything how I liked it the buggyness of my mistake started to rear up so I decided to go all the way back to stock, do a full wipe including the internal sdcard because it was full of too many files I just didn't need...I took out my sim and sd card and went through djeddie1 steps to flash update.zip, flash CM7, then ICS passion let it sit! well it worked and was really smooth but for some reason my phone won't find my sdcard...even with multiple reboots tried the wiping caches in gallery etc... still nothing... so i decided to flash again...wiped everything except internal sd and it seemed fine only thing is it still wont find my sd card no matter how many reboots after wiping cache I'm just at a loss:confused:any help?:(

[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Ok thanks for playing

Sorry but I chopped your post up...

You are not blind but i do think that you may have messed a step up by taking OUT your SD card when you flashed. IIRC the reason why we flash CM7 is b/c it repartitions the external_sd into the EMMC

Sidenote: I am really curious that many people are not having GPS problems and many people are. I know this has much to do with the kernel and Deep Sleep but maybe we can try looking at it from another angle too. In the Q&A Dpaul said that he has not had any GPS issues at all. I am wondering if build date might have something to do with it. Anyone who didn't do hardware fix remember having easy time locking? Anyone who did the hardward fix, are you having problems with GPS in ICS? Seems that the differiential between users who are and are not experiencing GPS issues is really far apart.

Just looking for an alternative solution/answer to why some many different reasons this is or isn't working. I am working on getting another Vibrant to do some deving on and will test out some things between it and my current one.
[Vibrant Android Development] toucan:
GPS steps - my experience

I have not personally had issues with GPS (nor mute/un-mute for that matter). My phone consistently pulls the satellites and I get pretty darned good views now.

What have I done? I did do the hardware fix to an extent - no solder or any other elaborate solutions - merely bent up the contact.

I am pretty sure I did the AngryGPS steps that were published on the earlier versions (note that I am using 10.6 still).

A little other background info -- I updated from 10 to 10.6 and DID NOT do a full wipe or anything like that. I basically followed the steps outlined to update the phone.

I recently installed the CPU Spy so that I could see that the "Deep Sleep" thing was happening (it is, according to the program). I even mess with Navigation and other stuff just to see.

...Let's see... according to CPU Spy my total state time is almost 194 hours right now - with almost 123 of those being "Deep Sleep" time (63%). The Settings --> Battery shows that GPS is on and off many times during that period.

Considering I get anywhere from 24-40 hours on a charge, that is probably about a week worth of phone use without rebooting or turning off the phone.

... as much as I LOVED my Touch Pro 2 phone, this setup from Neobuddy is working pretty darned nicely for me.

Of course - YMMV.
[Vibrant Android Development] MStrawder:
I did the hardware fix many months ago and have had great luck with GPS on ROMs with a working GPS driver. Passion specifically has worked very well for me. I tend to get accuracy to within 6-7 meters. I did the full hardware fix, meaning I put the glob of solder down onto the contact. It could very well be due to manufacturing variances in the way the contact is bent. Perhaps it is making better contact in some devices and not others. Seems logical since almost everyone who's performed the hardware fix seems to have little to no issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] toucan:
I saw this same question asked a day or two back and no responses.

I took a gander but do not see anything that drills into any details about the specific processes listed under CPU Spy.

I know that at the system level there would be a way to find those details, but at this point in my "life" (work, family, etc) I certainly cannot spend the time diving into the files to create that sort of view. Perhaps there are others who can... (match PID with data from CPU Spy, etc)
[Vibrant Android Development] mattytom87:
Thanks I'll try reflashing a little latter I just got my ffc so I'm gonna install that first... just to confirm leave the external in but should I pull my sim?

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
It's there. Root Explorer>look in emmc
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Doesn't matter about the sim.

This is a perfect test situation though, if you are willing.

Since you have the ICS booted up (even though sd isn't mounting) Do some GPS tests. Try to get a lock, let sleep and get a lock again. Note any issues you may have.

Now since you are installing your FFC, you will already have the phone torn apart. Might as well do the "simple" GPS fix while you are in there. Just bend the GPS tab/antenna up slightly (see thread) and then once you have it all put back together, do the same GPS tests as before. and compare the differences. If you are wnating to do this, I an VERY interested in the before and after.

[Vibrant Android Development] wkim02:
I can say that I have never had issues with the GPS not working after a deep sleep since V10. I have not done a wipe since it was not necessary, I think from 10.6 til now. I have not done the hardware fix and can usually get a lock of 7-9 meters. At the worst it will lock to about 20 meters. I check CPU spy to verify that the phone is going into deep sleep. Currently I'm on v12 with the new kernel Nelson released on FB (V6 I think).

Also, I have never deleted AngryGPS as some people have suggested and using fasterfix I verify that the server is for NA.

If there is anything else you would like to know let me know.

I did not do hardware fix and my phone was one of the first batches. My GPS worked fine on 2.2 ROMs and it was runing fine since v9 of ICS.

However, the best GPS was with v11b5 3.0.8 also there were some issues with having google location service enabled that would kill GPS.

I have flashed v12 and replaced kernel with v11b5 3.0.8 and after few reboots the GPS is working after deep sleep and with google location services enabled. I have tested since yesterday and GPS is working good also it takes 2 min to lock but it works.

Glitch v14 b2 kernel looking good!

Neo, this v12 ROM with stock kernel is excellent in terms of stability! No more random reboots or SODs for me; didn't have to do anything with voltages / cpu freq.

I just wanted to give Icy Glitch v14 kernel a try today since historically, this has always been my preferred kernel for battery. Icy Glitch v14 kernel is looking great on ICS Passion v12. The glitch devs continue to do a great job. All I had to do was just flash the zip in CWM and that's it. This was after I had v12 for a few days and didn't have to wipe anything when migrating to the new kernel.

Currently conditioning the battery using conservative govenor. Will compare stats with smartass govenor once I get the data.

speakerphone and calls over headset issue findings!

so I finally figured out the "issue" with my speakerphone, or speaking over headset. after several test, I have realized that the reason it is difficult to understand me over speakerphone or when my headset is plugged in is that for some reason, in both of these cases, the microphone sensitvity gets ramped waayyyy up! very small taps with a pen on the desk that I can barely hear are picked up very loudly by the mic and transmitted over the phone line. if i unplug the headphones, or turn off speakerphone, mic sensitivity goes back to normal, and doing the same test, i can barely hear the faint taps in the background. mute unmute does not fix! so the question is, how can we adjust the mic sensitivity to lower it when on speakerphone or when a headset is plugged in?
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
My best guess would be through VoodooControl App.

There is an option which controls MIC sensitivity. There are three pre-configured options available.
